The victim said Fernandez cut him off in a white van. He reportedly pulled up next to Fernandez and gestured for him to put his phone down because he believed he was texting and driving.
The victim then said Fernandez became enraged and started driving recklessly before both parties were stopped at a traffic light.
Detectives say Fernandez got out of his vehicle and threw a pair of nunchucks at the victim's vehicle while stopped at a traffic light, shattering the rear window.
Fernandez was arrested for Throwing a Deadly Missile into an Occupied Vehicle, Criminal Mischief, and Violation of Probation.
